Zeena Zakharia; Deepa Srikantaiah; Shytance Wren; Langan Courtney; Katya Murillo – Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education, 2025
The Black Lives Matter movement broke open new spaces to interrogate racism and coloniality in the international aid sector and reinvigorated antiracist and decolonial scholarship in higher education. In this essay, we trace connections between mounting critiques of international aid and the comparative and international higher education programs…

Christine Seon Rheem – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2025
This article constellates N.K Jemisin's "The Broken Earth" trilogy with decolonial epistemologies to push the boundaries of storied curricula and explore how we come to know. I argue that the imaginative world-building of science fiction can serve as worlding stories--not wording stories--that act, move, and connect knowledge,…

Michalinos Zembylas – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
The aim of this article is to call for qualitative researchers in education and other human sciences to grapple with recent developments in trauma studies and engage in reconceptualizing their research practices so that they pay attention to the catastrophic effects of colonialism on individuals and communities. Joining other critics who have…

Nelson, Vaughn – Religious Education, 2023
Food (systems, cultures, and practices of eating) is a significant site of cultural, political, and identity formation to which religious educators can pay attention, not only in a critical sense--to be "readers" of culture--but also as a potential path of creative engagement and re-formation--a way to become "cultural…

Sarah Urquhart – Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
Ecologically, lichen plays a significant role in the formation of flourishing ecosystems by breaking apart rock formations using small fungal threads to form fertile soil which supports a growing complexity/diversity of life. This essay uses lichen as a metaphor to describe fossilized constructs (colonial epistemologies and ontologies,…

Dwayne Donald; Lesley Tait; Etienna Moostoos-Lafferty – Canadian Journal of Education, 2025
This article hinges on the conviction that the centuries-long dominance of colonial worldview has resulted in the creation of educational practices that perpetuate colonial forms of relationship denial in mostly subtle and unquestioned ways. As part of an ongoing effort to honour knowledge systems and ways of being that are not fully circumscribed…

Stein, Sharon – Johns Hopkins University Press, 2022
Over the past several decades, higher education in the United States has been shaped by marketization and privatization. Efforts to critique these developments often rely on a contrast between a bleak present and a romanticized past. In "Unsettling the University," Sharon Stein offers a different entry point--one informed by decolonial…

Fikile Nxumalo; Joanne Peers – Global Studies of Childhood, 2024
In this article, we enact a partial cartographic storying of reconceptualist turns in our work. We do this by situating ourselves in relation to each other and our work across time as a mode of tracing the (situated) possibilities that these turns have enacted for children-in-relation with worlds. In enacting this dialogic and cartographic…

Lira, Andrea; Luisa Muñoz-García, Ana; Loncon, Elisa – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2022
In this article, we reflect on a research method we called Circulo Domoche, part of a larger research project on the histories of schooling of Mapuche women in Chile in a context of continual violence against Indigenous people. It originates in the personal experience of the researchers with Chilean schooling and our academic work on education. We…

Erika Rendon-Ramos – Multicultural Perspectives, 2023
For most undergraduate students, history prior to college has been dominated by learning through a settler colonialism lens. Settler colonialism embodies the typical United States, master, or traditional narrative. It erases marginalized perspectives, histories, culture, and identity in favor of the white settler perspective. By overlooking the…

Sabrina Ngo – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2025
In this paper I consider the social role vocational education can play in decentring settler-colonialism. Through focused programming located in community settings, these educational offerings provide opportunities for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Connecting capitalism's relationship to this school system, I contend that…

Mayo, Peter – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2022
This paper, rather than providing a comprehensive discussion around Paulo Freire's ideas, focuses on one aspect of his body of work: colonialism. The emphasis is on the 'oppressor consciousness' and cultural invasion (seen in its broadest context to include institutional colonialism with special reference to the traditional, modernizing and…

Patel, Shaista Aziz – Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, 2022
Teaching students to think about white settlers' and racialized non-black people's complicity in settler colonial violence can still be an instance of settler-centric pedagogy underlined by the trope of the 'dying Indian'. Through reflecting on my teaching of a well-circulated article by a racialized scholar, I discuss how, despite my intentions,…

Kaghondi wamwa Mwanga – Music Education Research, 2025
The practice of music diversity is colonialized. Its model is impotent to disrupt the Western canon. On the contrary, the practice has opened the door to sonic materialization and trafficking that has become indicative of the encounter between classical music and other music traditions in higher education. The Global South has become the mining…

Pilar Mendoza – Review of Higher Education, 2024
Using an international research center initiative, the purpose of this article is to illustrate how activist research can be fertile ground for academic theorization and provide a framework for those interested in activist scholarship, especially for women faculty of Latin American origins in U.S. institutions. I elaborate on how activist…
